Audio Item Preview
Dr. James H. Willbanks discusses the events that led to the end of the Vietnam War on April 21, 2010, at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, MO.
A leading Vietnam War scholar, Willbanks will discuss the Paris Peace Accords, the "Cease-Fire War," the repercussions from the resignation of President Richard Nixon, the North Vietnamese decision to launch a general offensive, and the strong disagreements in the United States over whether or not to aid the government of Nguyen Van Thieu. He will also explain the reasons for the chaos in South Vietnam that led to the collapse of the South Vietnamese armed forces just 55 days after the Communists launched what turned out to be their final offensive in 1975.
